Rick Snyder And Maura Corrigan Knew and Had A Plan For Flint

They knew.  They lied.

Listen how the process was explained by this mother.

City increases water rates after the switch to nasty river water.

People have water shut off because they cannot afford to pay the water bill.

The home is condemned and Child Protective Services comes to remove the kids and place them in foster care, which is privatized.

Even though this how it typically plays out, the American Enterprise Institute and those in support of the Paul Ryan budget proposals had, not only a plan of action, but funding for it.

Medicaid.
 
What this mother and the ACLU may not know is that the response of the State of Michigan leadership is very well planned, callous, financially logical and politically feasible.

This is testimony of Maura Corrigan, former Michigan Supreme Court Justice, former Michigan Director of Department of Human Services, November 2015, to the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on the quest to privatization.

Here is a quote from Madame Corrigan, quoting Rick Snyder, her boss, the Governor:

 What we want, and how we got here 

Here I quote my former boss, Governor Rick Snyder, who stated it more eloquently than I can.  In his 2015 State of the State address, Gov. Snyder stated: 

“This is about revolutionizing how government operates. This is time for the bigvision….Before our country was even founded, why did people come to America? And,after it was founded, why did people come and why do they come today? We are theland of opportunity. That’s what makes us who we are. Now the issue is to have a fair chance to have that opportunity in our country.” 

The governor continued: 

“If you go back to the 1930s, we built a system that was about adding programs andthese are good well-intentioned people, but if you look back over the last 80 years, whathave we done? We have added prescriptive program after prescriptive program. Wheredo we stand today? We’ve counted 145 plus programs and still counting: 35 in healthcare, 40 in work force, and 70 in child services. The system is failing folks—that’s nothow you solve the problem of helping people have opportunities. What we have done issliced and diced people into programs. We have moved away from treating them as realpeople. In fact, in some cases we have taken some of their dignity away as a person, byputting them through so many programs.”

Ways and Means Testimony of Maura Corrigan on Privatization 2015

As I have previously alleged, Michigan intentionally poisoned the people of Flint.

The plan was to swoop in with privatized "life coaches", funded through Medicaid, more than likely Targeted Case Management and/or new "Opportunity Grants".

This is just one glimpse into the privatization model for social services, which includes taking over public schools and more corporate subsides of wages.
